Hi @iserbrown,
That's correct - the Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee (PBAC) sat on the 20th of March but we won't know the outcome until the 20th April. If the PBAC recommends that the drugs be listed, it then has to go to cabinet for approval; hence all the letters you have all been writing to your local members.
We'll keep you posted!
